Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success

An entertaining biography dealing with corruption and greed, covered under a layer of snark.

Fun fact, during the same trip he also mentioned that doctors assisting abortions are hired killers.

Decadence and opulence will still only be a private jet trip away.

How would you peeps go about allocating an amount for an apartment that’ll be built over the next 2 years, with tranches to be paid every few months?

Keep the money invested, or already move the entire amount to a savings account, or just move the amount needed for the next tranch(es)?

Funny how 8 years ago, people kept saying “don’t worry about Trump, there are checks and balances in place”. None of that talk this time around!

Fallout 4 survivor mode melee build. That game just won’t leave me alone!

One book I read predicted societal disruption for 2035, with a total collapse of nations around 2050. I found it overly dramatic at the time, but now, 15 years later, it seems we’re well ahead of that prediction.

Hard Boiled

Will, a story about 2 young police officers in Nazi-occupied Belgium. The book was really good. I wanted to see the movie in the cinema but was too late. Yesterday I saw Netflix has it so this will be the weekend I finally get to watch it!

Started watching The Head, and must say I’m pleasantly surprised. About 2/3rds through the first season and the story has been building gradually, taking care to introduce the characters properly, and supply a good amount of intrigue. Barring a weak season finale, I’ll continue on to season 2.
